Matthew 6:25-35
Dear brethren,
Good morning! I hope that this Lord's day finds you doing well and able to attend the worship services.
The passage for this morning should provoke within us a trust for the Lord. I realize that trust is a very subjective concept. Trust can be easy or difficult depending upon the situation and the object of your trust. It does not take great effort to trust a person to help you lift a fifty pound box. However, trusting someone to help lift you up off the floor when you are hurt may require greater effort and a different person in whom you can trust. It is easy to trust when life is good. It is a greater challenge to trust when you need the most help.
Thankfully, the One in whom we should all trust is our Father in Heaven. No matter what we are facing in life, He will never leave us nor forsake us. Our heavenly Father will always take care of us.
Consider Matthew 6:25-35.
25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?'
32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
In Love,
John Duvall
